A TEST.

IF Mr. Lucas after being appoint
ed U. S Senator, resigns his office
Of delegate, as he must if he accepts
the appointment, and if the Cover
nor calls especial sessions of the leg
islature, an election will be neces.
sary in Jefferson county to fill the
vacancy. This will present the ques
ton squarely to the people of Jefler-
elected in favor of the action of the
majority or minority of the Demo
Gratis in the legislature. 1t will be
a nice question, and as an outsider
we hope it will come before the vot-
ers and be tested by an election.

THE APPOINTED


1t is understood that Hon. Daniel
B. Lucas is to be and probably has
been appointed U. S. Senator. Heis
a gentleman ofrecognized ability and
as lawyer, ranks with the foremost
in the State He is so we'll known to
the people of this section, where his
life's record has been made, that any
description thereof is unnecessary
He has fought his way through many
trying circumstances and surround
dings, and has earned his reputation
by hard work. He was the leader OF
the revolt in his own party, and with
minority of twelve persons includ-
ing himself, succeeded in holding the
majority of his party at bay until the
legislature adjourned, and now re-
ceives the appointment. Many per-
sons assert that such contest or pro-
test will occur in the Z. S. Senate as
will prevent him being seated. But
that is mere rumor.
Martinsburg independent. [volume] (Martinsburg, W. Va.) 1875-1900, 1887-03-05
which,

1t is said that the Governor will
convene the legislature in special
session for the purpose of making
appropriations necessary for the de-
partments of State Government, and
that,as the call of the Governor will
be for a special purpose, that no bust
ness outside Of the call can be trans
acted and that an election of U. S.
Senator cannot be had. We present
to our readers the sections of the
State and U. S. Constitution, on the
subject, as follows:
Art. vi, Sec. 10, of Constitution of
W. Va.:-"The Governor may con-
vene the Legislature by proclama-
ton whenever, in his opinion, the
public safety shall require it. It
shall be his duty to convene it, on APP
plication in writing, of three fifths of
the members elected to each House"
ART. /, Sec 3, Constitution of u.
S. and the latter part of the I'd clauses
and il vacancies happen by resigna
ton, or otherwise, during the recess
of the Legislature of any State, the
Executive may make temporary APP
pointments until the next meeting of
the Legislature. which shall then fill
such vacancies"
Now supposing the call to be limit
ed in its terms, will not the direct
terms of the U. S. Constitution pre-
vail and is it not mandatory so far as
the filling of the vacancy is concerned.

At her home in this city, on the 2sth of
February, 1887, of consumption, Mrs. SA-
RAH ELIZA PITZER, wife of Mr. w. A. Pit
ger, aged 30 years and months.
1t was long evident to anxious friends
that a dark cloud was preparing its folds
to envelope this happy little home. And at
the appointed moment it came, and she
was taken from the suiferings of her sick
ness to pass over and to rest on the Ever
green Shore The cloud so dark to us, was
full of brightness to her. She cannot re-
turn to sorrowing friends on earth; but
they may sc to her and become partakers
with her in the blessedness of Heavens
everlasting rest. W.
"a tear be shed for the dead,
Meath the clouds of our valley sleeping,
Lightly rest the turf on the silent breast:
O, God, console the friends left weeping.o
Another broken thread: another missed
form; another desolate, sad home. After
months of patient suffering Gods finger
touched her soul and she slept. The de-
ceased was kind Christian woman, an
affectionate mother,a loving, faithful wife.
Her death has broken up happy home and
cast deep gloom over the hearts of
many who loved her. In the midday of life
with loving husband by her side, and a
sweet-faced, tender little son at her knee,
she faded away into the silent grave. But
her faith in the Lord was strong and abid-
ing, and shown forth to the last. When
the cold water of the Dark River surged
about the trembling heart, she crossed her
hands oyer her breast, and wearing a tri-
umphant smile, passed across to Beulah
land. God watch over the little orphan
son and sustain the heart-broken husband
the pale spectre will beckon them away.
o, may they be ready. When death shall
stay the golden sands that run with such
unrest, may they pass over to the other
shore and meet the angel mother and wife
in the beautiful land of the blessed!
Leaves have their time to fall,
And flowers to wither at the northwind's
breath,
And stars to set; but all,
Thou hast all seasons for thine own, o

A Story of Crime and Filth.

LYNcHBURG, VA, Feb. 2S.-Since
the adjournment of the county court
here the community has been much
excited over the horrible condition
of the county poorhouse, as develop.
ed upon Investigation by the grand
jury. Eight members of the jury
visited the poor-house and were hor.
rifed by the discoveries made. The
female inmates complain of treat
ment too appalling to be described
and the abuse from Superintendent
Sidney M. Dawson which it is hard
ly possible to believe. 1t is ques-
tionable if such a den of infamy
could be found elsewhere. The poor
women are almost naked, and was
discovered in a cold room without
fire wearing only calico wrapper.
Vermin and filth were found in eve
ry department, the odor of which
was sufficient to cause pestilence.
The county authorities fur.
nish the superintendent with bed.
clothing for the use of paupers. But
the grand jury found only five blan-
kets and all OF them were in posses
sion Of mulatto woman, a favorite
OF the superintendent.

Mr.. Lucas Appointed Senator,

CHARLESTON, w. VA, Feb. 28.-
GOV. Wilson has rendered the Uni.
ted States senatorship to Daniel B.
Lucas, of Jefferson county, who was
one of the twelve democratic "kick-
ers" in the recent senatorial contest.
Dir. Lucas has accepted the tender,
and will receive his credentials
shortly after the 4th of March next.
In speaking Of Mr. Lucas to the
representative of the Sun, Governor
Wilson said &: ''He is staunch jeff
ersonian democrat, and with that
political faith he is necessarily OPP
posed to every species Of monopoly.
AS 8 lawyer and public speaker he
rank among the ablest and best in
the State, and as a man of letters
and general literature he has no SUI
perior. He is man Of positive con
victions, and can always be relied
upon as fried of the people, and
that is the kind of man upon whom,
in my judgment, should be confer
red so important public trust. Be-
sides all these things he comes from
the democratic stronghold of the
State"
He will hold the place for years,
and his successor will be chosen by
the Legislature to be elected in the
fall of 1888, which will also elect q
successor to Mr.. Kenna, whose term
expires March 4, 1889. Mr.. Lucas
is a native of Jefferson county and
something over fifty years of age.
He is q graduate OF the University
of Virginia, q lawyer of recognized
ability, and one of the most fluent
and eloquent speakers in the State
In addition, Mr.. Lucas is poet of
reputation, poem written by him
shortly after the close of the wal, en-
titled "In the Land Where We Were
Dreaming" being his best known
effort in that direction. The new
Senator's public life has been con-
fined to two sessions as a member of
the West Virginia Legislature from
Jefferson county. He has several
times been mentioned in connection
with nomination for Congress in his
district, but the nearest he ever came
to nomination was IN 1882, when
the democratic congressional con-
vention split, one portion nominal
ing the Hon. John b. Hoge and the
other portion putting Mr.. Lucas in
the field. But few days before the
elestion both were withdrawn, and
Hon. William L. Wilson was nomi
mated and elected. Mr.. Lucas was
a presidential elector in 1876, 1880
and 1882, and in each campaign
made an active canvass of the State.
Last fall he was nominated by dem
cratic primary election as a candi-
date for the House of Delegates from
Jefferson county, and was elected by
q large majority. He was pro-
nounced anti-Camden man, and was
one of the twelve Representatives
elected as democrats who refused to
enter the democratic senatorial eau
Gus. Throughout the contest which
resulted in failure to elect sena-
tor, Mr.. Lucas was the leader of the
twelve who refused to vote for Mr..
Camden, who had been nominated by
the thirty-eight democrats that en-
tered the caucus. The father OF the
new senator, the Hon. VIM. Lucas,
1t one time represented his district
in Congress, as also did his uncle, the
Hon. Henry Bedinger, who was after
wards United States minister to
Denmark.

"PREsIDENT CLEVELAND has given
the Republican Senate another
chance to prevent colored man
from holding office. James M. Trot-
ter, of Massachusetts, will succeed

District of Columbia, if the Senate
does not prevent. The Presidents

appointing colored men till his term
expires, unless the Senate agrees
to respect his appointments Wheel.
sng Register.
The Register sticks to this worm
eaten chestnut, and sheds crocodile
tears of agony over it. If the Pres
ident is so anxious to have colored
man appointed to Douglass position
all he need do is to select him from
among the hundreds of worthy col
ored citizens of the District. This
he will not do, for stubbornness is
his forte. The Senate would be repu-
dating the reasons it assigned for
rejecting Mathews, were it to confirm
Mr.. Trotter. This the Register
knows full well. The Statesman is
about locating the true difficulty,
when it says: ''The surprise is that
he cannot find colored man of the
District to fill the position" This
dose will settle the contortions of
the Wheeling sympathizer.
